I died 3 times tonight. THREE TIMES. Why? Because of lag. Combat froze with all my specials waiting, and guess what happens. When the game catches up, all the opponents damage from that time hit me, whereas I didn't start to attack until after the lag caught up. Lag sucks.

a) quit whining, its technilogically impossible in this game to hold that many people in one place (your lucky that a CSR didnt start warping you all away)


b) get a better computer?


c) the GCW is borked, we need the patch (the majority of us who don't get lag will enjoy it)

maybe you didnt see what i wrote, i was getting 14 fps with that many ppl in one area, that's not that bad. the lag was caused by the server. ive seen 2 times as many in one spot in other games with less lag, so they have room for improvement. and i did not say i wouldnt enjoy the new patch, i think it'd be great. i'm just saying, what's the point if all you ever experience in large scale pvp is server lag?

Yeah in some cases the server does lag...and in most, lags BAD.


But having 250+ people in one area, especially all bunched up like that only makes it worse to such a point you can't blame player or server lag as theres so many people, it just doesn't matter anymore. Especially doing this in a player city?


Hopefully most people will put bases down in remote areas, where we can actually have large scale battles. Nevertheless, 250+ is still a bit too much....

Our complaints were more directed to the fact that we had about 250+ people in one city on the map and nobody could really do much of anything because the lag was so bad. What is the GCW patch going to do to fix this issue and allow us to have a large scale PvP battle.


I was targeted on Trunten all night last night while in the base....and I didn't see him once.

Actually MOST people could'nt give a damm about the GCW and would like it removed. Its a total waste of time if you ask me NOTHING you EVER do in the gcw MAKES any difference and this patch will make NO difference to that fact.
